“It’s retail, mate. I’m not expecting perfection from some twenty-something dairy stocker. I know it’s not your passion—hell, it’s not mine either. It’s nobody’s, really, is it? You’d have to be properly mad, maybe even a bit masochistic, to actually enjoy it.”
Alex swallows, because he sometimes worries that he could very well be both of those things.

Summary

So long as Jack could keep his head on straight, not let John get under his skin, and retain a semblance of his sense of self and sexuality for one goddamn evening, there wouldn’t be a problem. It should be easy.
